Django looks good. Don't know if I'll be allowed to see it, though. I was able to see Basterds at my cousins house last year which was really good. Anyway, good review.

I just got back from seeing Argo with my dad. I'm not going to bother with a star rating or any semblance of professionalism: It was GOOD. Everything was intense the whole way through and I was always wondering whether or not they'd make it out alive even though it was a true story. Ben Affleck was subtle and believable in his role, and he and the other actors made the movie very believable as a whole.

Also, "Argo *(censored)* yourself."

Yeah, Argo *(censored)* yourself

Alan Arkin was great in that movie.

I think Afleck will get an Oscar nomination for his directing rather than his acting. Bryan Cranston and Alan Arkin could get nominated, though.

Okay, I know I've yet to give a real movie review, but I'd just like to give my two cents on the Oscar nominations.

First off, and anyone who has seen Argo will agree, BEN AFLECK GOT SNUUUUBED!!!!!!!

I was glad to see Life of Pi, Argoi and Lincoln get nominated, but I don't get why they only nominated nine films this year.

As a big fan of the movie, I was hoping The Dark Knight Rises would get a big nomination, especially Nolan for directing because he's been snubbed twice in the past, but that was more wishful thinking. However, cinematography and the score not getting nominated was a mistake. At least Skyfall was nominated.

The big contenders I would like to see that I missed would be Zero Dark Thirty and The Master.

Oh, and Seth McFarlane is hosting so I won't be watching.

But seriously academy, explain to me why Afleck got snubbed!

I haven't even heard of half the films nominated... And I haven't seen any of them

Bump.

The Gift: 10/10. Unique, gripping, thrilling, unpredictable. See it.

Ayy solid bump.

Looking back at my last post in this thread

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

Only just got around to watching this recently and damn I wish I had done this earlier. This movie has a fantastic script from writer/director Shane Black along with hilarious performances from Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer and Michelle Monaghan. Perfect comedy noir.

9.5/10

Might take a stab at this, though I may be criticized lol.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Absolutely stunning. James Spader is a perfect Ultron, and the light shed on Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and his personal life is amazing. It also brings out a slightly darker side that Marvel hasn't shown much before; showcasing each hero's darkest nightmares when Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) uses her powers on them. All in all, an incredible movie.

My rating: 9.5/10

Ant Man 5/5

Fun, funny, solid action, and they made the science part believable enough for me!

I wasn't impressed by the commercials, but from what I've heard, it sounds good. Hope to see it soon.

Jurassic World: 8/10

Pixels: 0/10

I was actually pleasantly surprised by Jurassoc World. It was fun enough and miles better than the other Jurassic park sequels.

Also this week I have a very hard decision to make. I can see the new Mission Impossible, The End of the Tour (David Foster Wallace movie) or Fantastic Four (I'm actually very curious to see just how much of a *(censored)* mess it is).

Probably won't spend money on F4, but still deciding between the first two. What do you people think?

CAUGHT

I have never seen a movie at theaters in over 4 years, and I intend to keep it that way for a while.

Major League: 11/10
Major League 2: 7/10
Major League: Back To The Minors: -1/10

see Mission Impossible, thats the sort of thing that's worth seeing in the theatre. the David Foster Wallace bio will be just as good on Redbox watched at home, right?
